[May-7] – WOC2020 postponed to 2022

Due to the heavy impacts that we still experience from the Covid-19 pandemic, we no longer regard it to be possible to have a WOC in Denmark in fall 2020. Not only will the many restrictions due to Corona provide major logistic challenges, but more importantly we shall not be able to guarantee freedom of movement, fairness of the competitions or medical safety for neither athletes nor spectators.

In stead WOC in Denmark will be held as a 6 day event in the period between 24-June and 5-July 2022. The planning of the event takes place in coordination with the World Games and other international events, and the exact dates will be announced as soon as possible.
